In Drosophila, an X linked recessive mutation, scalloped (sd), causes irregular wing margins.  Diagram the F1 and F2 results if a (a) scalloped female is crossed with a normal male; (b) a scalloped male is crossed with a normal female (assume the female is homozygous).  Compare these results to what you would find if the trait was not sex linked.
